I would expect the woman in this situation is lonely, maybe has some psychosocial issues, does not have a supportive circle of friends, and is feeling captured by the attention and "love" being promised to her. In desperation, one can believe anything if it fills a hole in the heart. I hope the Sherriff's Office/Seniors Against Crime can assist.

Please follow this advice. I’ve worked with many scam victims and they can feel very embarrassed. They want to believe the story is true. She needs your support and understanding.
